About
WildBrain Ltd., a Canadian company headquartered in Halifax and established in 2004, operates as a prominent global entity in children's and family entertainment. The company, which rebranded from DHX Media Ltd. in December 2019, is structured around two main divisions: its Content Business and Canadian Television Broadcasting. WildBrain specializes in the development, production, and worldwide distribution of films and television programs, particularly focusing on animated series for young audiences. Beyond generating its own content, the company offers production services and manages a network of children's channels on YouTube. Its commercial strategy involves licensing initial broadcasting rights for new proprietary series and pre-selling developing shows to a diverse range of partners, including traditional broadcasters, streaming services, and other media platforms. Additionally, WildBrain re-licenses rights from its extensive library of existing titles, which features both company-owned intellectual property and content from third parties. Within Canada, WildBrain holds broadcast licenses for several key television channels, namely Family Channel, Family Jr., Télémagino, and Family CHRGD. The company also functions as an agency for entertainment, sport, and brand licensing, overseeing rights for its own brands—such as Peanuts, Strawberry Shortcake, Chip and Potato, Teletubbies, Yo Gabba Gabba!, Caillou, Johnny Test, In the Night Garden, and Twirlywoos—as well as select Mattel brands like Bob the Builder, Fireman Sam, Little People, and Polly Pocket. This licensing extends to music publishing, retransmission rights, and organizing live tours. Ultimately, WildBrain's productions are accessible to global audiences via streaming platforms, conventional and specialty terrestrial, cable, and satellite television broadcasters, alongside various other digital providers.

FAQs
Can Indian residents buy WildBrain stock?
Yes. WildBrain (WILD) has been listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange since 2006, in the Entertainment industry, and Indian residents can buy it through Paasa. You fund the account from your Indian bank under the RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme and the money is converted to US dollars and then to CAD. Shares are held in your own name at Interactive Brokers, segregated from Paasa's own assets.
How much does one WildBrain share cost in rupees?
One WildBrain share is CA$1.30 — about ₹88 at a CAD/INR rate of 67.65 on 29 Sep 2026. Both the WildBrain price and the rupee rate move during the day, so the rupee cost changes with them.
What are the LRS and TCS rules for buying WildBrain from India?
Remit up to $250,000 per financial year under the RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS). Banks collect 20% tax at source on LRS remittances above ₹10 lakh in a financial year; the TCS is adjustable against your income-tax liability. FX and the LRS declaration are handled by your bank when you fund your account.
How are gains on WildBrain shares taxed in India?
Gains on shares held for more than 24 months are long-term and taxed at 12.5%. Gains on shares held for 24 months or less are short-term and taxed at your income-tax slab rate. The gain is computed in rupees using the CAD/INR rate on the purchase and the sale date, so the rupee move counts alongside the WildBrain price. Paasa issues a capital-gains statement for your return.
Does WildBrain pay a dividend?
No. WildBrain does not currently pay a dividend, so holding it produces no dividend income to declare in India. If it starts paying one, the Indian treatment is the usual one — dividends are taxed at your slab rate in India — and Paasa's dividend report would show the gross amount and any tax withheld.
When can I trade WildBrain from India?
The Toronto Stock Exchange trades 7:00 pm – 1:30 am IST in Indian time, so the close lands after midnight. The window shifts to 8:00 pm – 2:30 am IST when Canada is on standard time. Orders can only execute during that window.
Do I have to declare WildBrain shares in my Indian tax return?
Yes. Foreign shares held on 31 March must be reported in Schedule FA of your Indian income-tax return. Paasa gives you a Schedule FA-ready statement listing your WildBrain holding, its cost and its closing value.
How do I sell WildBrain and bring the money back to India?
You sell during market hours (7:00 pm – 1:30 am IST) and the proceeds settle in CAD in your Paasa account. From there you can hold the balance, reinvest, or repatriate. Funds can be withdrawn in any currency to any bank account in your own name. Whether the sale is short- or long-term is decided by the 24-month holding period.
Does the rupee rate affect what I make on WildBrain?
Yes. WildBrain is priced in CAD, so your rupee outcome combines the CAD move with the CAD/INR move between the day you remit and the day you convert back. Both directions are reflected in the capital-gains statement Paasa issues.
